Some guidelines...

What is my real reason for seeing this person romantically?
What am I seeking that cannot be found in a friendship?
Am I selfishly seeking my own fulfillment?
Am I communicating to her?
Am I arousing emotions that I'm not ready or not supposed to meet?
Will she be hurt if I allow the relationship to proceed?
Is this relationship going to help or hinder her relationship with God?


Is this what keeps me from persuing a relationship? Or is it just my own inadequacy? My own fear of rejection?
As I've said before... I'm in the worst position. Knowing enough to stop me from doing the wrong thing, but not enough to keep me from wanting to do it anyway.

Desire...
Two sides of a coin. Two perspectives. But they come together. Just depends on which side you want to face up. There are times I wish I never had the coin. But I realise that to be foolishness...
